Will be interested in trading cuttings in the spring These are some i have that are named wilhave a few more later and am kust getting buds on some i don't have names for. will post pics later and put a link to those if that is ok. cliff stock #---cultivar------bloom color-------------------------------------------bloom time wa01-Ann-----------lavender&white,large flowers, early wb01- wc01-Claudia------brick-red late wd01Dark Eva----dark purple buds/opens lavender early wd02-Dark Marie--dark purple buds open to red--trailing early wk01-Kris Kringle----brite red-- upright growth early wl01-Lavender Beauty -large lavender/white wm01-Malindi-----purple buds,brite orange wn01-Naomi------lavender pink---upright growth early ws01-Sleigh Bells--red -cobia var-- late wt01-Thor Rit-----dark pink w/white center--trailing growth wt02-Thor Tina----pink--- trailing growth late ww01-White Christmas-----white-- early wx01-Xmas Charm--lavender/purple--upright growth wx02-Xmas Cheer---orange early wx03-Xmas Fantasy---orange--upright growth wx04-Xmas Flame--sport of gold charm,purple buds wy01-Yantra--magenta/purple-- upright early wz01-Zaraika-----------crimson red-- upright early

They might have done better to stay in the teeny pots, at least 'til next Spring & by then you could also have gotten appropriately sized pots. For such small plants, w/ a such large volume of soil, the risk is of rot; that the mix will stay wet longer than the plant can take up the moisture often leading to rot or root rot in particular. One way to combat this is to use clay pots (unglazed), which will absorb SOME of that moisture. I'd be extra careful w/ your watering. Next time, just increase one pot size (maximum two), that's the generally accepted rule for repotting C&S.

The flowers are HUGE ... Somebody is making a beeline for the center ... One of the treasures received at the swap ... I almost feed badly about accepting such lovely pieces. Thank you Sylvia ... There were other beautiful pieces passed along. I just haven't figured out where to put them all yet -- which is half the fun. Everybody have a great day and enjoy the cool nights ...

Things have been busy so I hadn't had a chance to reply to this until now. Tough question, which is probably why a response is hard! The main portion of gritty mix would stay put after the plants root and establish in the vertical planter. However the top portion will stay loose and I'm not sure how to deal with that. With window screen the roots will grow into it, but should be easier to deal with compared to fabric. Best of luck on this project and I hope they grow well!
